Book excerpt: Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndromes (AIDS) continue to be major global health priorities. Although forced displacement is believed to fuel HIV/AIDS epidemic in countries affected by conflict, factors associated with forced displacement and HIV risk in conflict-affected populations are not well understood. The aims of this study were therefore (1) to describe factors that influence risk for HIV infection in a Utah-based Burundi refugee population and (2) explore relationship between Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behavior/Practices (KABP) in order design targeted HIV/AIDS prevention interventions for the population. Results were controlled for known confounders. Attitude towards HIV/AIDS (b = 0.5071, p > 0.001) was a significant predictor of HIV/AIDS knowledge. Behavior/ practices were strongly associated with knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, gender, and household size. Overall, men were more knowledgeable than women and had higher self-efficacy. Women had more positive attitudes and scored higher behavior/practices.

Book excerpt: Young females are at three times higher risk of contracting HIV than their male counterparts in Jamaica. Using Jamaica's 2004 Knowledge, Attitudes, Behaviour and Practices survey, this research investigates factors contributing to HIV/AIDS-related risky behaviors of young females. Risk perception as a function of knowledge and as an influence on behavior is also examined. The findings reveal that only older females, 25 to 49 years, practice safer behaviors in response to increased knowledge. This highlights the disjunction between knowledge and behavior, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to addressing the social context within which adolescents are put at risk.

Book excerpt: Objectives To understand characteristics, perceptions, knowledge and behavior in the Qualitative Phase and to determine HIV/AIDS related knowledge, practices (including risk behaviors), HIV burden and its correlates in the quantitative phase among MSM population of Kolkata, West Bengal, India Methodology A mixed-method study with a qualitative phase followed by a quantitative cross-sectional component was conducted in Kolkata between August-2015 to June-2016. Focus group discussions and in-depth interview were conducted among 23 MSM. Time location sampling (TLS) with probability proportional to estimated attendance size was used to recruit MSM from 115 venues, corresponding to 3760 VDT complexes from which 584 subjects in randomly selected eligible VDT complexes were interviewed through an android based, tablet-PC assisted, pre-recorded questions-based, audio-integrated, color coded self-interview. Results MSM were uniformly treated with contempt in Indian society including by their parents. They were more likely to experience discrimination based on their sexual orientation compared to heterosexual counterpart. Most of them consciously did not disclose their orientation because of fear of rejection from families and society. Lack of support, protection and guidance from families and society influenced the overall well-being of this population. Almost all of them suffered from an impaired self-esteem and some degree of unhappiness because of widespread discrimination. The mechanism of coping varied and some were situational based on their anticipated emotional impact. In quantitative phase, the HIV burden was found to be 10.46%. 71% reported to have multiple male sex partners in their lifetime. 66% had multiple casual male sex partners. The significant predictors of HIV sero-positivity were higher age, acting as both as an anal insertive and receptive, irregular partners and unprotected sex. Conclusions The HIV burden among MSM was found to be substantially high in the current analysis. The significant predictors of HIV sero-positivity were higher age, acting as both as an anal insertive and receptive, irregular partners and unprotected sex. Majority of MSM in Kolkata were engaged in high risk activities that elevated their HIV risk. Targeted intervention for high-risk MSM seemed to be the need of the hour.

This book was released on 2015-11-11 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has created an enormous challenge worldwide. HIV and its effect, the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), are rampant worldwide problems with broad social, cultural and economical implications. The present study, therefore, has investigated College students' knowledge about HIV/AIDS, Risk Reduction Behaviors and Readiness to undergo Voluntary Counseling and Testing for HIV ( VCT ). The result indicated that knowledge about HIV/AIDS did not predict the students' Readiness to access VCT services. However, knowledge about HIV/AIDS together with Risk Reduction Behaviors was found to contribute for the students' Readiness to access VCT. With this regard, it was known that HIV/AIDS prevention is not mainly a problem of transmitting knowledge but rather one of changing attributes and overt behaviors. Even when people have good understanding and awareness of the virus, they are not changing their behavior, as there are so many contributing factors that lead people to behave in a certain way or which prevents them from changing their behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substantial empirical research has documented that HIV prevention and decision-making are heavily influenced by the knowledge and practice of values and beliefs regarding infection and behavior. Most HIV research is still concentrated among high-risk populations (IDU and FSW), leaving out women in long-term heterosexual marriage who have been considered "safe" and less at risk of infection. In addition, researchers have called for more comparative and cross-cultural studies focused on the interplay of health education, behaviors, context, and HIV risk perception. The objective of this dissertation is to advance understanding of the factors sexually experienced women in Postsocialist Georgia consider important when they assess HIV perceived risk of which they are made aware by messages emanating from the social environment. A conceptual framework that integrates concepts from traditional social psychological theory and the constructs of context-specific factors to guide research intervention is applied. Combined quantitative and qualitative approaches are used to achieve a better understanding of perceived HIV risk and its association with different factors. The testing of relationships from two national Reproductive Health Survey samples (1999 and 2005) demonstrate strong positive associations among increased HIV transmission knowledge, belief in accidental transmission, HIV testing practice, and HIV perceived risk, while controlling for sociodemographic factors. Characteristics associated with social norms and economic factors (including stigmatizing attitudes about the rights of PWAs, constrained attitudes concerning sexual control, and experienced migration) demonstrate a strong significant link with assessment of HIV risk perception. Qualitative research with women strengthens the argument of superficial health education and helps to explain variations in perceived risk assessment. Through the interviews, HIV prevention practice is examined in relation to a myriad of cognitive components. This study finds health knowledge, misconceptions, stigmatizing attitudes, and beliefs in sexual and gender norms among the major factors constraining successful HIV/AIDS prevention practices. An effective strategy for HIV/AIDS prevention will require enhancement of research, more emphasis on an integrated approach to target education efforts, training providers in information diffusion approaches, and promoting a general communication campaign.
